INFORMATION ON PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES JOINT ADMISSIONS 2013/2014 ACADEMIC YEAR
1. INTRODUCTION
There are five (5) Public Universities in Uganda namely: i. Makerere University ii. Mbarara University of Science & Technology Website: www.mak.ac.ug Website: www.must.ac.ug Fax: +256-41-534125/541771 Fax: 256-0485-20782/20388 Tel : +256-41-4534343/4531806 Tel: +256-485-420785/421373 Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] iii.

Busitema University P.O. Box 236 Tororo & P.O. Box 226 Busia Tel : +256-352-276-164 Email: [email protected] The application form for admission to all Public Tertiary Education Institutions is to be completed by Senior Six Leavers who wish to be considered for admission under government sponsorship to the Public Universities and to other Tertiary Education Institutions. The form will be used to collect information on applicants and this information will later be processed on computer. Each applicant must complete the PUJAB application form.
Application fee for Ugandans is Ug. Sh.52,000/= per candidate
The fee should be paid to Stanbic Bank, using paying in slips, which should be collected from Makerere University, Revenue Office, Main Building. Payments can also be through Bank drafts in the names of Makerere University Council.
Note: That Non-Ugandans should complete an application form, designed specifically
for them after paying an application fee of US.$.75 or its equivalent in Uganda Shillings. Application forms for International Students are received up to end March every year. (This is on Private Sponsorship).
2. FILLING AND CARE FOR THE PUJAB APPLICATION FORM
Each candidate is entitled to only one form; so each student must ensure that the form is neatly and accurately completed. Untidy application forms may be rejected.
2.1 Candidate’s Name The candidates’ names must be written in full and in capital letters. The names must also be identical to the ones used for registration for O’ and A’ Level examinations. No abbreviations will be accepted. Even if the names were indicated on the Pass slip as initials, they must be written in full.
2.2 University Programmes A student may apply for a maximum of Ten programmes (Six choices for national merit admission and another four choices for district quota admission) offered at the different Public Universities using the same form. The Joint Admissions Board does admissions to all the Public Universities at the same time under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and Sports. STUDENTS SHOULD SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT THE CHOICES OF THE PROGRAMMES THEY WISH TO APPLY BEFORE COMPLETING THE APPLICATION FORM AS IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THESE CHOICES ONCE THE FORMS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY THE UNIVERSITY.
The programmes at the Universities are represented by three letter Codes; these are the Codes to be written in the space provided for each programme code. The candidates’ names will be written in the space provided. The list of programmes and their codes is attached. CANDIDATES ARE ADVISED TO ENSURE THAT THEY WRITE THE CORRECT CODES FOR THE RESPECTIVE PROGRAMMES. Candidates should seriously note that a wrong Programme Code would result in to the Candidate’s name being omitted from the list of applicants for the particular programme(s).
2.3 Advice on making your Choices for Programmes It has been noted over the years that some candidates apply for only ‘Popular’ and highly competitive programmes: e.g. LAW, SOC, BJC on the Arts side and MAM, PHA, ELE and STE, on the Science side. Such candidates don’t make choices on programmes such as LIS, ARS and BSC/ED, B.SC. In several instances many of those candidates do not qualify for the highly competitive programmes but would qualify for B.A (Arts) or B.SC if they had applied for them.
2.4 Other Tertiary Institutions Space is provided for candidates who may wish to apply for programmes at the other Tertiary Education Institutions. The codes for programmes offered at those Institutions are to be collected from the JAB Office, Ministry of Education and Sports.
2.5 Candidate’s Index Number IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT A CORRECT INDEX NUMBER IS WRITTEN ON THE
APPLICATION FORM for example U0013/503. That is, the Index Number should be written in full, clearly indicating the centre number as well.
2.6 Citizenship
The appropriate CITIZENSHIP should be clearly indicated on the form. International students or Non-Ugandans should not complete the PUJAB form. They should fill forms for private sponsorship, which may be obtained from the University.
2.7 Gender The Candidates should indicate whether they are MALE or FEMALE
3
2.8 District
It is important that the right Home District is indicated in the appropriate space. Appendix D has Codes for all districts in Uganda. This is very important especially in relation to district quota admission. Candidates/applicants are warned against indicating wrong districts. Some indicate districts where their schools are located instead of their own home districts. If this is discovered either at registration or afterwards, the affected person’s admission will be cancelled. Candidates admitted on District Quota will be verified by the District authorities to confirm that they originate from those Districts.
2.9 Year of A’ Level Examinations and Centre Name
The year of A’ level Examinations e.g. 2012 and school name must be written in the space provided. This information will help the University to differentiate and identify students who may have sat the A’ level examinations in different years and different centres.
2.10 O-Level Results
Candidates should provide correct information on the year of O’Level, the Index Number and grades obtained per subject. They must attach a copy of the O’Level Pass Slip, which should be submitted to the Admissions Office with the Application form for verification purposes. There are cases of candidates who deliberately record better O-Level grades than what they actually obtained or deliberately recording A-Level Index Numbers, which are not theirs. A’ Level candidates are warned against presenting forged O’Level Pass Slips to the University. Candidates who sat outside Uganda should submit photocopies of original documents in addition to UNEB equivalents. The pass slips should be stapled on the application form.
APPENDIX A also shows the Codes and the corresponding possible subject combinations, which the candidates should apply for. The subject combinations belong to the School where two of the subjects belong. For example, a candidate allocated PS, EC, G would belong to the School of Social Sciences. The candidates who may want such a subject combination should
Candidates who obtained an over all Grade of 7, 9, Y or Z at O’Level do not qualify for University admission and need not apply. One should have also passed at least 5 subjects at O’Level (i.e 5 subjects without a Grade 9).
2.11 False Information/Impersonation
Candidates are warned that cases of impersonation, falsification of documents or giving false/incomplete information whenever discovered either at registration or afterwards, will lead to automatic cancellation of admission, besides being referred to Police for prosecution.
2.12 Choices of B.A. and B.SC. Subject Combinations
a) B.A. Subject combinations Applicants admitted to the Bachelor of Arts Degree Programme offered in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences; take three subjects in the first year. The University Admissions Board allocates these subjects taking into account the applicants’ choices, the capacities of the Departments and the timetable limitations. The list of subjects available in the three Schools of the College of Humanities is at APPENDIX A.
4
apply for admission to BA(SS) whose Code is ASS. On the other hand, a candidate allocated G, H, EC would belong to the School of Liberal and Performing Arts and should accordingly apply for admission to BA (A) whose Code is ARS. The 3-digit Numerical Code for each subject combination should be written in the space provided e.g 078 for G, H, TOU. There is provision for three subject combinations. An applicant will be considered for allocation for the 1st subject combination. In case the 1st choice subject combination is not possible, one of the remaining two or any other combination may be allocated. Please ensure that you use the new subject codes as they appear because some of the codes have changed. b) B.SC Subject Combinations Each Candidate admitted to the B.SC degree programme will be allocated a set of 2 subjects to be taken in the 1st year of studies. The two allocated subjects should have been passed well at A- level. The list of subjects offered in the College of Natural Sciences is shown in Appendix B. The subject of Biology offered at A-level is split into Botany and Zoology at the University. Appendix C shows 1st Year subject combinations for Kyambogo
2.13 Contact Address
Each candidate’s contact address should be written in the space provided. Space for the Telephone Number, Fax Number and E-mail has been provided; these are to enable the University contact Candidates in case there is a problem with the application form or on any other admission matters.
2.14 Home County, Parish and Village It is imperative that information is provided on the above for records and statistical purposes.
2.15 Information on Parents Information regarding parents of each applicant must be provided whether alive or deceased. Clearly indicate whether the parent is deceased.
2.16 Candidates’ Signature
To confirm that the Candidate is responsible for all the information entered on the application form, he/she should sign in the space provided and put their thumb print in the space provided. Before signing the form, CANDIDATES ARE URGED TO CROSS-CHECK THAT THE INFORMATION FILLED IN THE FORM IS TRUE TO THE BEST OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE.
2.17 Confirmation from Local Councils The LC.I and LC.III Chairpersons must sign and stamp the forms as evidence that what the applicant has stated about his names, parents, home district and citizenships is correct. (No application form will be accepted by the University without this confirmation).
2.18 Head teachers’ Certification on the Candidate
Head teachers are required to verify the citizenship, conduct, health condition, and sports ability of their candidates. They should cross check the information filled in the form by the candidates before signing. Head teachers are advised against endorsing documents that bear false information, for example on citizenship, district of origin or disability.
5
2.19 School Stamp The school must stamp the application form as proof that what has been stated has been crosschecked and endorsed. THE SCHOOL STAMP TO BE USED SHOULD BE FOR THE CENTRES AT WHICH THE CANDIDATES WILL SIT THEIR A’LEVEL EXAMINATIONS.
2.20 Re-applicants Applicants who sat A’Level examinations in the previous years should note that A’Level
results are valid for government sponsorship for only 3 years. Those interested in re-applying should attach photocopies of both O’ and A’Level results on the application form.

5. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES
(a) A candidate shall be deemed eligible for consideration for admission to a first degree
programme at the University if the candidate has obtained: (i) The Ugandan Certificate of Education with a minimum of 5 Passes or an
equivalent qualification, and (ii) At least two Advanced Level Passes in approved subjects at the same sitting
of the Uganda Advance Level Certificate of Education Examination (A’Level) or an equivalent qualification.
For purposes of this regulation, except where otherwise provided for, all subjects offered by the Uganda National Examinations Board at O’Level and A’Level are regarded as approved subjects.
(b) College/School requirements. Within the framework of the General Direct Entry Requirements, there may be
special College/School requirements which candidates must fulfil to gain admission to a programme in a specific academic unit.
5.1 THE WEIGHTING SYSTEM
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: That the existing Weighting System shown below applies to all the five Public Universities. Candidates are therefore advised to study and understand the weighting system before completing PUJAB forms and ensure that they get access to an updated weighting system for 2013/2014 Admissions.
5.2 WEIGHTING CRITERIA
All subjects taken at the Advanced Level of Education are grouped into four categories and weighted as follows for purposes of admission to any programme of Undergraduate study in the University.
The Essential A’ Level subjects for University Programmes must be passed with at least a Principal Pass.
5.3 For a given candidate, not more than three subjects taken at the principal level shall carry a
weight of 3, 2, or 1. 5.4 For a given candidate, principal level subjects in excess of the three defined in 1.1 (i) to (iii)
above, shall be designated as “Others” and shall carry a weight of 0.5
11
5.5 Not more than two subjects shall be designated as “Essential”. 5.6 A pass in a subject taken at subsidiary level such as General Paper, shall carry one point. A
subsidiary pass ranges from grades 1 to 6. 5.7 In case of programmes where “Essential” subjects may be three or more, an “Essential set”
of subjects is defined. The best-performed two subjects of the essential set shall be designated as “Essential Subjects” and weighted three. The 3rd
best done subjects from the Essential Set shall be designated as the “Relevant Subject” and weighted two.
5.8 When computing points special programme requirements are also taken into consideration.
5.10 For A’ Level grades, the conversion scale is A=6, B=5, C=4, D=3, E=2, O=1, F=0 points. 6. THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF A CANDIDATE FOR ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY a) The O’Level weight of a candidate for any programme in the University, is obtained by
multiplying the numbers of Distinctions/Credits/Passes, by the relevant weights and adding up for the Distinctions, Credits and passes actually obtained by the candidate.
b) The A’Level weight, for a given programme, of a candidate is obtained by multiplying each subject grade point by the relevant weighting factor and adding up for all the subjects taken and passed.
c) The combined weight of a candidate for a given programme, is obtained by adding the
O’Level weight obtained (a) above to the A’Level weight obtained (b) above. The best candidate for each programme is the one with the highest combined weight.
d) Candidates are selected on merit from those who apply for a programme as their first
choice plus those who apply for the programme as 2nd, 3rd, 4th choice etc., if they have not been admitted to programmes of their earlier choices. All choices are considered.

7. THE POLICY ON SPONSORSHIP BY UGANDA GOVERNMENT With effect from the 2005/2006 Academic year, the admission policy is as follows:
a) 75% of the total number of the slots for government sponsorship is competed for nationally on merit. These slots are on programmes identified as critical areas for national development and are spread all over the five Public Universities as shown on the list of programmes under each University.
b) The remaining 25% are distributed as follows:
i) 40 slots are for talented sports men/sportswomen.
ii) 64 slots are filled by persons with disabilities. Persons with Disabilities are categorised as follows: − Blind − Deaf − Those using Mobility appliances − Physical disability − Chronic Medical problems – Sickle cell anaemia, Asthma, Epilepsy, Albino. They must apply using PUJAB forms, attaching the photograph showing level of Disability or Medical Report as evidence of being disabled.
iii) 896 slots are competed for through the district quota. Preference is given to
candidates who sat A’ level exam at schools located in their home district.
Programmes which have slots on national merit in most cases admit a few candidates, sometimes none, through the district quota and special scheme avenues. This is due to the limited capacities. For the district quota admission candidate are also encouraged to apply for programmes which are not available for national merit.
NB: Applicants are strongly warned against providing false information regarding their
districts of origin as this will lead to cancellation of admission, revocation of the award where applicable and prosecution in the courts of law whenever discovered.
